As Australia’s sex discrimination commissioner rightly goes viral for insisting that men who claim to be women need pregnancy protections in law, it’s important to put into perspective what is happening to the law: Men are getting protections they don’t need (pregnancy) while taking away protections women do need (single sex spaces & sport, etc). This is incoherent and is an embarrassment for legislators with every day the law remains this way. What you can do: email all MPs & Senators informing them that you want the sex discrimination act fixed - BACK THE BILL.

For my latest @quillette podcast, I spoke with Sarath Sanga, a professor at my alma mater @YaleLawSch (dating back to my brief legal career). We talked about an extraordinarily candid new report that he & nine other Yale profs wrote about the decline of trust in higher ed.

Five years after it helped promote a nationwide social panic over ‘unmarked graves,’ the Globe & Mail admits those graves might not actually exist—while also suggesting that it doesn’t really matter anyway. ✍️ @jonkay quillette.com/2026/05/23/can…

People are outraged that a Black actress is playing Helen of Troy in Nolan's Odyssey. But Homer's myths have been radically rewritten for 2,500 years. This is nothing new, writes @CathyYoung63 🧵

There was this deafening rattle coming from one of the wheels on my car, so I took the wheel off and this thing broken piece of scrap metal flopped out. AI tells me it’s a “wheel hub or spindle knuckle.” I put the wheel back on and the car runs fine. Is this going to wreck my car? Or am I OK with only three spindle knuckles?

I love how the esteemed “judges” appear with a wall of shoes, symbolizing those 215 “unmarked graves” in Kamloops they haven’t quite gotten around to finding. Looks very professional and impartial

The Canadian government is on trial this week in an international tribunal known the Permanent People’s Tribunal. The tribunal seeks to hold the Canadian government accountable for its role in the Residential school system. Stay tuned this week for more coverage from the tribunal.

A lot of people have struggled to believe me when I say that the Australian Human Rights Commission is giving pregnancy protections in law to men who claim to be woman, because it’s so stupid it’s hard to believe anyone would say it. Enjoy:

amazing: On Friday, when @globeandmail (finally!) admitted that no actual “unmarked graves” are known to have been found at Kamloops, their social media ppl, out of sheer habit, tweeted the old lie that “remains” were found. They hastily deleted it but forgot to delete the thread

@globeandmail This is still disingenuous, but better than the egregiously unprofessional headline they had posted yesterday. In case you didn't see it before it was rightly removed, here it is:

LOL @APTNNews “Jaqueline Jubinville would like to recall the message…”
Lindsay Shepherd@NewWorldHominin

I tried asking APTN what their involvement is in the CBC "prank show." Their comms director accidentally sent me an internal email stating that they were going to ignore my inquiry because I'm just a lowly Canadian citizen and not a media outlet (not that they will give a sufficient answer to the media either.) I followed up and asked who I can contact then, and they just didn't respond. It's actually crazy that these taxpayer-supported institutions think that they don't need to answer to anyone. They don't even think I deserve a modicum of an answer to my questions, even though they shouldn't be difficult to respond to.
